NBL Game Announcer
Last night, we managed to get 2 tickets at the box office at the Sydney Olympic Park to watch the game between the Kings and the Breakers.
For newbies like me and my son who were the first time to watch NBL, it was an eye-opener for us. However, we were pretty annoyed by the announcer who kept talking (interrupting) during the game. For example, when the Breakers were doing the penalty shot, the announcer would encourage the audience to boo the Kiwis. I thought it was pretty unfair and very distracting to the players. The announcer will also ask the audience to yell out "Let's go Sydney, let's go ..." while the game was on. These are all good but can he do it during timeout or intermission? We already had some pretty loud music throughout the game.
I thought this is more of an American way of creating an exciting atmosphere for the audiences and fans but maybe I belong to the old school.
Does the announcer do that to all NBL games at all venues?
